StorytellerOne day a wise old man saw two dogs fighting. He said, ‘If those dogs don’t stop fighting, the boys who own them will start fighting.’

Everyone laughed and ignored him but a few minutes later a boy saw the dogs. To protect his dog, he hit the other dog with a stick. At that moment, the boy who owned the other dog saw what happened, and the two boys began fighting.

The wise old man said, ‘If those boys don’t stop fighting, their mothers will start fighting.’

Everyone laughed and ignored him but a few minutes later one of the mothers came out of her house and saw the boys. To protect her son, she hit the other boy. At that moment, the other boy’s mother saw what happened, and the two women began fighting.

The wise old man said, ‘If those women don’t stop fighting, their husbands will start fighting.’
